The Masters of the Bazaar are so funny because they all have jobs and they do them and sometimes they give you a job and sometimes they ignore you and sometimes they appear out of darkness like a nightmare and deal a mortal wound to you and then leave knowing full well that in the Neath it would pretty damn hard for you to die from that so you just go to work the next day and they act like nothing happened

(The Mining Camps Speak, Beth and Bill Sagstetter, 1998)
Tommyknockers are one of my favorite pieces of mining lore because they show a clear understanding of ‘cause and effect’ but the environment is enhanced by attributing it to a mythical entity. It’s the perfect way to teach newcomers to mining not to fuck with popping rock (and the frequency of popping in a shaft means a collapse will happen soon) but also have a little fun while you’re on shift; the blame gets shifted from Jerry always misplacing the pick to the Tommyknockers.
'Popping’ is the sound of a small rock fracture opening due to tensile strength - the rock pulling apart - and is still relevant today.
Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?
